    You wipe your bum after each crap, why don't you clean your teeth after every meal?

    There is no shame in being uneducated nor in being stupid.
    The true shame lies in knowing that you are and doing nothing about it.

    I know a few paddocks you can cut across to dodge the border gates ~ all locals around here know about these tracks (and there's more than 20 of them)...good luck closing the borders.

    For most of the rest of the world, the govt. tells the schools to close ; in Qld, the teachers unions threatens to strike if the govt. doesn't close school by Wednesday.... disparity aplenty

    If you can trust those Worldmeters, what an amazing different 1 day has made

    Hardly any new cases today, only America with a 1000 new cases
    Australia only had 20 new cases Today as compared to 537 yesterday

    (maybe they update it later on, but during the course of the day, the whole worlds figures have been stable, compared to previous data)

    Yesterday




    Today




    I will note, i have seen incorrect figures on this site: IE: thier percentage just din't add up to 100% and numbers have gone down after being higher
    As i asked earlier in this thread, who provides this numbers????

    No new deaths in Italy today???

    If you believe the stories leaking out of China saying - "Over a Million Dead" and they're burning bodies. /that's farked.

    We kind of knew China was falsifying the figures... But if true, That's mindboggling.

    Damn, just drove by a centrelink office in Melbourne and there is a cue a mile long.. WTF is going on ??

    Impossible to believe....
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    That literally just changed in the last 20 min
    So it is hardly a "Live" account

    That being that case, we are just outside a BRONZE medal in the World Corona Games, being the 4th highest 1 day gain in the world
    (according the very suspect world o meter)




    I'm starting to wish i hadn't had a beer with those Israel lads 10 days ago, my throat has been sore ever since

    Who do you believe?
    The corrupt to the core Chinese gubbermint or thr social media hysterical morons?

    I'll choose to look at what is happening in other places and evaluate things from there. In any case, China is not that relevant to the rest of the world with their living conditions and lack of health and sanitation which is what got the world into this disaster in the first place.

    I see there are a lot of calls for a revolt against China in buying their crap.
    I hope something real comes from it. Do the wesyern world a ship load of good to get back to manufacturing and self sufficency.

    I'm afraid what i believe what will happen is as soon as this is over, the sheeple will be back to buying up all the chinese crap they can.... not that there is much choice these days.

    I'll certanly be thinking about where i spnd my money a lot harder and trying not to repeat mistakes of the past.

    I tend to wonder also

    All these positive, what could only be considered as "promotional videos" coming out of Wuhan and China really is going against the rest of the world.
    And we all know how the CCP works.
    Just like Trump but with a bigger stick
